Why couldn't they get at least one of his wigs right?!

There's CGI in movies that make you think an entire city is floating in air, that a human being can transform into a giant green monster, and that look like people are pulling cell phones out of huge steaming piles of dinosaur poop. There are stuntmen and women so talented that they can make a full-sized city bus jump a gap like it was a motorcycle. Hell, they're even able to project hologrammed images of a deceased Tupac during a concert. Why didn't they spend the extra time and money to make sure the James Brown hairdos were right? It's really not that hard. There are hairdressers in the 'hood that could have hooked Chadwick's crop up.

You have ice cream. Why are there tears?

True. But he is so fine. ..lol ...I hate his curls later in the film but he was cute the rest of the film.

I find that whenever movies try to reproduce hairstyles from the 60's they waaay over exaggerate them. Yeah,the beehives and pompadours were big hair but they make it so bigbthat it looks more costume-y rather than historical recreation.
